Bounce back in Buffalo: ESPN expert projects Bills wide receiver to have massive season image

The Buffalo Bills have massive questions about their wide receivers for the second straight season. Don't tell that to general manager Brandon Beane, though, as he has gone to bat for his group of pass-catchers on multiple instances since the NFL Draft and then added former Cleveland Browns wideout Elijah Moore to the group.

That said, the hesitations to crown any of the Bills' receivers not named Khalil Shakir are fair, as the unit is full of either career-long role players or unproven young talents that have big strides to take. However, ESPN's Mike Clay projects a huge bounce-back season in 2025 for Keon Coleman.

Clay predicts the Florida State product will have 54 catches for 893 yards and eight scores in 2025. Should he be correct, Coleman will also lead the Bills in receiving yards. This comes after a year in which Coleman had more downs than ups as a rookie, catching 29 passes for 556 yards and four touchdowns.

While Coleman missed time with injuries, he was also inconsistent when it came to making big plays in the passing game early on in the season. With a full season under his belt, though, Clay, and many members of Bills Mafia, believe he can take that next step.
